A corona is a ‘glow’ light effect. It is a simple texture that is inserted at an attachment point within the mesh. Coronas can be added to any asset that uses a mesh-table.

Examples of coronas used in-game can be seen on the Airport and Airport basic assets. The Jumbo Jet, the Cessna and the Airport tower all use flashing coronas.

Example mesh table with coronas:

[[mesh-table]]
{
default
{
mesh asset.lm
auto-create 1
effects
{
0
{
kind corona
att a.corona0
texture-kuid <KUID:-3:10110>
frequency 2
directional 0
object-size 0.20
}
1
{
kind corona
att a.corona1
}
}
}
}

==Breakdown of KIND CORONA:==
===kind corona (required)===
The effect kind
===att (required)===
The corona insertion point in the main mesh.
===texture-kuid (optional)===
Add this tag only when you want to specify your own texture for the corona. It specifies the KUID of a [[kind texture]] asset.

If the texture-kuid tag is not present the corona will use the default yellow/orange texture in TRS.

TRS released corona textures:
* Yellow/orange corona Default (if no texture-kuid)
* Green corona <KUID:-3:10110>
* Red corona <KUID:-3:10112>
* White corona <KUID:-3:10111>

===frequency 2 (optional)===
This variable specifies the frequency in Hz (or ‘flashes’ per second). e.g. 1 for once per second, 0.5 for once every 2 seconds, 2 for twice per second.
===directional 0 (optional)===
The default for coronas is to be aligned to the attachment point to face the NEGATIVE Z direction. This is especially useful for Traincars.

Adding this tag over-rides this behavior, to make the corona always face the screen – useful for scenery objects.
===object-size 0.15 (optional)===
Size of the corona on the object when viewed up close, defaults to 0.15 (i.e. 0.15m)
